Remove the Front Bezel
1. Carefully take hold of the front bezel by the right and
left flanges and pull straight out from the appliance until
the retaining clips release.
2. Set the bezel aside on a secure surface.
Remove the Drives
IMPORTANT: Overland recommends that you remove the disk
drives to reduce the unit’s weight prior to removal. They must
be replaced in the same drive bays when done.
Remove all the drive and blank carriers, and note from which
bay each was removed.
NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so
voids the drive warranty.
1. Press the release button on the right side of the carrier.
2. Using the built-in handle, pull the carrier out.
3. Number the carrier and set it on a secure surface
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 for all the remaining carriers.
Remove Unit from Rack
WARNING: It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or at
least two people) be used during rack installation or removal to
prevent injury.
WARNUNG: Um Verletzungen zu vermeiden, empfehlen wir
zur Rack-Installation oder -Deinstallation die Nutzung einer
mechanischen Hebehilfe (oder mindestens zwei Personen).
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour éviter toute blessure il est
recommande qu'un monte-charge (ou deux personnes au
moins) soit utilisé lors de l'installation ou de l'enlèvement du
support.
